Search has changed more in the last two years than in the previous decade. Google now displays AI Overviews above traditional results, while millions of users ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini for recommendations instead of browsing ten blue links. For French businesses, visibility now depends on two complementary disciplines: classic SEO (search engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization), which aims to make a brand cited in AI-generated answers. Choosing an agency that masters both has become a strategic decision.
The French market: who does what?
Large Paris-based agencies such as Eskimoz, Primelis, 1ère Position or Uplix offer structured teams and serve mostly mid-size and large companies. Performance agencies like Junto focus heavily on paid acquisition. Freelance marketplaces such as Malt give access to independent consultants of very variable experience. Between these options, a new generation of agencies combines SEO, GEO, web development and advertising under one roof, with a single strategic contact.
